Grass Cutting

Grass will be cut on a cyclical basis as often as necessary to ensure it does not get above the maximum height. This means that the actual frequency may change depending on growth and ground conditions.

As a guide, frequencies may be approximately 15 to 18 cuts per year over the grass growing period based on every two weeks from March to November depending on the category of grass cutting for the site.

Tree Work

Our experienced tree teams carry out proactive and reactive maintenance to trees as required. We will also undertake a full survey of all tree stock in the first year of contract and establish inspection intervals to identify problems such as dead, diseased or dying trees and will also identify trees which are affecting cabling or pose a risk to property.

Improving Efficiency & Effectiveness

Working with our client, we have implemented a number of procedural and managerial changes and enhancements to ensure we are delivering the best quality service for Acis Group Ltd and their customers. We have joint, web-based access to a number of systems to share information back and forth between us and the client officers. We have initiated site inspections with our supervisors, Acis area service managers and local residents, and we contribute to the Acis Group Ltd “Home News” newsletter. We pride ourselves on our communication systems, relaying problems and enquiries through to Acis, using our bespoke software system, to ensure a fast resolution time.

We also upskill our staff with specialist training in areas such as horticulture and health and safety. A sub-depot was also sourced in Gainsborough, employing Acis tenants to undertake the grounds maintenance work who know their districts well, ensuring a fast, efficient and effective service.

Our teams all carry tablets which hold digitised mapping of all sites ensuring identifying all tasks required on site.
